Intellectual property rights in the Digital age

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly transformed the landscape of intellectual property rights (IPR), presenting both new opportunities and unprecedented challenges. This study delves into the evolution of IPR in the digital age, focusing on key domains such as copyright, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. It examines how digital innovations have altered traditional IP protection mechanisms and enforcement strategies. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and digital rights management (DRM) systems has introduced both sophisticated protection mechanisms and new threats, including large-scale digital piracy, unauthorized content distribution, and the complexities of AI-generated intellectual assets. The paper addresses the global implications of IPR enforcement in an interconnected digital economy, highlighting jurisdictional conflicts, cross-border infringement issues, and the role of international regulatory frameworks.

Constitutional Morality and Individual Rights

Constitutional morality and individual rights are fundamental pillars of democracy, ensuring justice, equality, and personal freedom. While individual rights empower citizens with autonomy, constitutional morality ensures these rights align with democratic values and social justice. Conflicts arise when traditions or societal norms contradict constitutional principles, as seen in cases like Sabarimala and Section 377 in India. The judiciary plays a crucial role in balancing these interests, safeguarding individual freedoms while upholding constitutional ethics. Ultimately, fostering constitutional morality is essential for sustaining democratic integrity and protecting human dignity in an evolving society.

Water as a Geopolitical Weapon: Climate Change, the Brahmaputra River, and Arctic Tensions

Climate change is exacerbating global water disputes, turning water into a strategic asset in geopolitical conflicts. This study examines two critical case studies: the Brahmaputra River and the Arctic. The Brahmaputra, shared by China, India, and Bangladesh, is increasingly contested due to dam construction, shifting hydrology, and the lack of a binding water-sharing agreement. Meanwhile, in the Arctic, melting ice is transforming previously inaccessible waters into new trade routes and resource frontiers, intensifying global competition. These cases highlight how climate-induced water scarcity and accessibility shifts are reshaping international relations, underscoring the need for cooperative water governance and sustainable policy responses.
